Meanwhile, the second-ranked Georgia Bulldogs will clash with Florida in a rivalry game at 3:30 p.m. as well. Georgia is expected to have the upper hand following a bounce-back period after a previous loss to Alabama. For Florida, this game could have significant implications regarding the future of head coach Billy Napier, making it a must-watch.
